Protect, automate and save with The Work Number

Product Overview

Peace of mind delivered

ACA Employment Verifications is the primary employment and income data source for the federal Health Insurance Marketplace, the government portal set up to help consumers healthcare tax credits or insurance coverage as a part of the Affordable Care Act. Through The Work Number®, Equifax helps to streamline the transfer of information between employers and government agency verifiers, supporting the employee by accelerating the benefits decision process.

Employers who contribute data to The Work Number provide a significant advantage to their employees applying for benefits and tax credits to ACA, as income and employment is verified instantly and securely at the point of application.
